A new engine is born

[BOS-94-003]

After years and years of wanting to upgrade my engine, the time has come. Placed my order with Jim Woods of Fordstrokers.com and will have my BOSS block based 331 stroker ready in 4-5 weeks.

Lack of interweb lingo here is terrible. QFT means Quoted for Truth....

ETA on the block is 4-5 weeks but the whole build is a different story. Along with the engine Im also changing out the front suspension (MM tubular K member and coil over conversion), automatic tranny to a TKO600, and upgrading the front brakes with either a Baer or Wildwood front brake kit. I'm thinking it wont hit the road again till next summer (2010) but I know when the weather warms up this summer ill be pushing to finish it up. Once all that is done then its time to add some boost. The cam selection is set up for a boosted application so even if I do get the motor running this year it will be a bit doggish till the supercharger is added but with what im going with compared to what i have now it should be a decent difference. When the parts start showing up and actual work begins ill start a build thread with pics and numbers as the changeover progresses. Only thing to do right now is pull the timing cover and send it to Fordstrokers.
